Every couple of years, Cirque du Soleil sets up its iconic blue and yellow tent on the United Center Grounds for a show that is sure to blow your mind. This year, however, Cirque du Soleil not only changed up the color of their tent; they also created a unique production unlike any show you have ever seen before that will transport you to a surreal world of wonders:

1. Water inside the big top
LUZIA is the first Cirque du Soleil show to feature water as a central element of the production. Not only is it a beautiful addition to the show’s aesthetics, artists even perform their acts under a rain curtain and in a pool of water!

2. Incredible puppets and props
A flower dress that blooms in front of your eyes. A stunning silver horse galloping on a treadmill. A jaguar that is so life-like you forget there are two people inside the costume. That’s how LUZIA takes props and puppetry to a larger-than-life level.

3. Epic contortion
Although all the acts are worth-seeing, this one will leave your jaw dropped. An unbelievable, mind-bending (not to mention body-bending) performance that will astonish even the most fervent Cirque du Soleil fans. You need to see it for yourself to believe it!
